Conviction of Felons Bills and Financial Measures Debate
The Lords discussed reward distribution for felons, conflicting with royal prerogative to spend public money, and agreed to defer the matter for three months. A separate Lords committee examined Clerks of Office and further debated Bills of Exchange and Promissory Notes, outlining stamp duties and reissue rules. The House then moved to Ways and Means for naval and colonial expenditures, including Navy ordinary rates and ships funding, with an adjournment after Sierra Leona Bill postponement.

Criminal Information Rule Granted in King's Bench Case
Law report from Westminster Hall on Friday May 13 describes a rule to show cause why a criminal information should not be exhibited against Mr Jorkin M P. The case recalls a prior rule against Mr Joliffe instigated by Mr Fenshaw, resolved as absolute after Joliffe circulated hand bills claiming improper motives in the prosecution. The court, noting Joliffe's defence of his conduct, refused the information and urged a fresh application, leading to a renewed rule for Mr Fenshaw.
